Ships

“Ahoy”, “Cast off!”, “Prepare to board!” – children are drawn

towards ships as if by magic. But bigger people are also fascina-
ted by them.

Ships are the oldest form of transport in the world. New conti-
nents were discovered with their help. They convey huge loads
and countless passengers thousands of nautical miles.

There are many different types of ships, from small sailing boats
and yachts up to cargo ships, navy vessels, huge passenger ships
or tankers as big as a tower block. There are a great variety of
models and versions – but each of them float and they all need a
crew to man them.

To be able to slip into the role of pirate, captain, helmsperson or

sailor is fun for both younger and older children. And it is even
more satisfying and exciting if this game can take place on board
a “real” ship!

Highlights
Leisure parks offer a wide range of fun
and adventure games. To make sure
they also appeal to young visitors, it’s
important to have a range of different
attractive installations that provide
a high incentive to play and offer
experiences and adventures that will be
remembered long after the visit.

Our pirate ship is not just a visual eye-

catcher but above all it is a very special
play world with a magnetic effect on big
and small.
The diagram shows one such play world,
which is particularly attractive as it can
be reached over the water.

Ships
Play ships are well suited as design
element for a large play area. They
create a very special appeal, identify an
area for play, and help in structuring the
grounds. A ship triggers a whole range
of associations. Different role-play games
quickly develop, such as steering the
ship, giving orders over the telephone or
ringing the ship’s bell.

The Würfelwiese park in Halle is situated

directly on the banks of the Saale river
and is a carefully planned recreation
place catering for all generations. The
play installation “Shipwrecks” made it
possible for the planners to create an
immediate connection to the river. The
elaborate play structure is an attractive
eye-catcher in the park and a meeting
point for young and old.

Theme playground
Ships are an object that customers
request again and again and one which
we are able to create in many different
ways. Generally customers present exact
ideas and guidelines regarding form,
play value and colour, which we then
implement in close cooperation with the
customer.
At the theme playground “Peter Pan”
in London, a large ship has always been
an absolute must. It is the centre of this
lovely place and children use it and play
on it in lots of different ways.

Play inside the ship

The Sand Ship has a basic construction
made up of several platforms that were
created by rebuilding the body of a ship.
A range of different play offers and
combination elements together with the
ship’s sand area form the basis of a small,
safe play world. Because the play activities
take place in the easily seen interior of
the ship it is particularly suited for small
children. There are also different seats
available for their carers.

Synergy
In Fidenza/Italy, the operators of a
shopping centre decided to build an
outstanding playground in order to
make the visit to this place attractive for
children and win their parents over as
customers.
As the shopping mall has been designed
in an Egyptian style, the play ship has
been recreated as a Pharaoh’s barque.
The aesthetically pleasing play sculpture
conceals a whole range of play offers,
and its specially shaped design makes it
very memorable and contributes to the
identity of this place.

Adventure playground in Luxem-

bourg municipal park

A shipwreck in the centre of the city.

One of the most beautiful playgrounds
in Europe is located in the Luxembourg
municipal park. This adventure play-
ground, situated on an area of 4,500
square metres, allows children to develop
many creative games and gives free rein
to their imagination.
The shipwreck not only acts as a stimulus
for role-play games, but can also be used
as a climbing structure and slide and,
with its impressive size of 30 metres long
and
12 metres high, is an attractive centre
point of this generously proportioned
play world.

Our ship, inspired by the design of a
large coastal freighter, has cast anchor
in Elbauenpark in Magdeburg. The stern
of the ship houses a large play house
with several levels and a “real” ship’s
wheel. The sand area inside the hull,
equipped with sand chutes, sand pipes
and transport rails, offers many play
opportunities for big and little sailors,
pirates and ship’s captains.

At sea
The Cutter is a ship which can really
“sail”. A counterweight, which
corresponds in technical terms to the
keel of a boat, allows for a rocking
movement of the boat as if it were
floating in the water. The movement
is gentle and can be initiated even by
small children walking up and down. The
cutter together with the cabin, the helm
and other elements creates a very special
play atmosphere where little sailors can
experience the sensation of being on a
boat.

A wreck for children and adults

The wreck stranded in the Belgian village
of Chevetogne is a smaller version of our
“Luxembourg” ship. The three levels of
the hull, mast and stern all offer space
to play thanks to a range of variable
climbing nets and slides. In addition
to the high play value, the shipwreck
is characterised by the sophisticated
design of the curved wooden planks. The
portholes and the integrated sand area
also provide creative play opportunities
for smaller children.
